Speaking as the new company made its debut at OTC 2016, EPIX CEO Douglas Schwedland said: “By leveraging the expertise of our founding companies, EPIX will initially deliver integrated power system solutions that are specifically engineered for hydraulic fracturing and then apply these same principles of integrated systems to other applications.”

Schwedland has more than 20 years of experience in the diesel engine and business systems industries. He most recently served in the dual role of CEO of MTU Middle East FZE and business development director, Middle East, Africa and Central Asia for Rolls-Royce Power Systems AG, and has held various leadership positions with Detroit Diesel Corp, MTU Detroit Diesel, and Tognum AG.

“The industry is asking for comprehensive solutions that will remain productive in harsher, continuous operation environments, and we are answering with innovations that deliver on all levels, from productivity and efficiency to reduced total cost of ownership,” said Schwedland.
